Emma, on the other hand, sprinted outside for a drink after we arrived home from the movies tonight and proceeded to drink from both the bucket and the bowl set in the iron dog's tummy before rubbing her head over and along the pavers as if marking them with her scent. It took a while to convince her to come inside but considerably longer for young Tinker who, even now, is outside and refusing to come in. M thinks it's time to restrict what has been all-day access to cookies so that Tink and the others will have to come in in the evening (when called) to get some. It's so cunning, devious and down-right clever, it may just work! Either that or locking them out for the night a few times - mind you, that's not the best option for the local wildlife - may help the situation.
The National IQ test was on television at Latimers for a short while only this evening because we had been out at the movies seeing "Red" - which is a simply marvelous film - helped by a good script and a great ensemble cast. However, what we did see of the IQ test proved that, between all of us at Latimers, we can solve just about anything!!
Also at Latimers today - Uncle R who had morning tea - I think Lamingtons were involved - with S and M because it was raining when he arrived (funny how it rains on some parts of the coast and not others). I'm not sure whether he made it down the back to check on those bananas.
The mower didn't come home again today but M reports that they have at least started work on it now so I'm hoping there's a chance that they will bring it back, all serviced up and ready to go, in time for the weekend. I can feel a mow coming on - and a trip to the cinema to see the movie we saw advertised tonight "Skyline" which I won't read up on beforehand but from the trailer it looks to be another "aliens taking over the earth" story. When it started, I had thought it would have been based on the Dean Koontz novel "Taken" which also sees alien ships arriving on earth and harvesting people. It won't be everyone's cup of tea and already S has said that she isn't interested, not for the reason I thought (that it's science fiction - hopefully) but because she thought it would be too scary. Something to sleep on.
